I am writing to you regarding Bernardi Honda, a business licensed by the City of Brockton Massachusetts.
I was recently at Bernardi's location with the intent to purchase a vehicle. After being flooded with confusion regard the prices of the vehicles, I opted to not do business with them.
All the the "brand new" 2011 vehicle Monroney label or "window stickers" were missing and it
became difficult to navigate the price on any vehicle. I was told by a Bernardi representative that the Monroney label or "window stickers" were removed so that consumers would not compare 2012 new vehicle pricing to 2011 new vehicle pricing.
This is an extremely deceptive and unlawful business practice, one that is mandated by the Federal
Trade Commission and punishable anywhere between $1000 and $10,000 per violation and jail time.
It is Federal Law that the stickers not be removed from Brand New Cars and it poses an immediate consumer threat and is a clear violation of the law. This dealer was looking for thousands more that I ended up paying at another dealer foe the same exact vehicle.
My hope is that Bernardi does not have to opportunity to rip anyone else off and begin using honest business practices.
